“I recorded 62 songs for Timeless and picking the final 17 tracks was the hardest thing to do” – Davido
Nigerian music superstar Davido has revealed that he over-recorded tracks for his album “Timeless” and that he had to choose between 62 songs for the project.
Davido released his fourth album, “Timeless,” on March 31, 2023. The megastar whose music has dominated Afrobeats for the past ten years took a rare time of stillness before releasing the much-awaited album.
Davido stated to CNN that he recorded roughly 62 songs in order to get ready for his album.
“I had to pick out of 62 songs for ‘Timeless’. We first narrowed it down to 20 songs than to 17 and 18 songs,” the hitmaker tells CNN’s African Voices.
The selection of the tracks for the album was a laborious process, according to Davido, as there were many excellent tunes available.
“It’s the hardest process. Today, you say you want this one and in two weeks you’re not feeling it anymore and you want a new one.”
The DMW boss also revealed that his next album was effectively done as he had enough new songs for a new project.
